The room fell into a comfortable silence while everyone took a second to gather their thoughts. This didn't solve the problem. We weren't enough to take on this army. There had to be solution! I could feel it right at the tip of my tongue, but it just the answer kept eluding me. Think Bella, think.

"Jacob!" I called out suddenly into the quiet room.

"What about him Bella?" Edward said in a very controlled voice, but I was too excited to care at the moment about his temper.

"He owes me a major favor!" I yelled in excitement.

"Were not following…" Emmett said.

"Of course!" Jasper said smiling. "Do you think they'd really go for it?"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter, because if they don't I can persuade them!" I said happily.

"Bella, are you talking about asking the wolves for help?" Carlisle asked.

"It's perfect! That evens the odds! Excellent idea Bella!" Alice said.

"So we're really going to ask dogs for help?" Rose said while scrunching her nose.

"Yes, we all will." Edward said putting emphasis on all, letting me know that I was not going to meet with them alone. I nodded.

"This needs to happen as soon as possible." I checked the clock, it was still relatively early. "I'm going to call them right now to meet with us."

"I don't like this." Edward mumbled as I left his lap to call Jacob. I used the call history to find his number. It rang once before he picked up.

"Hello?" Jacob asked breathlessly.

"Hi Jake!" I said.

"Bella! I'm glad you called, are you feeling better?" He asked concerned. I felt guilty using his emotions like this, but I had no choice.

"Yes Jake, but that doesn't matter, listen how would you and your pack like to rip apart vampires?" I asked him. He was silent for a moment, but then answered,

"We would love to; just name the place and time."

"Ok, let's meet in the large field about twenty minutes northeast from La Push in the forest. If it's possible I'd like to leave right now." I said rushed.

"Sure, I'll see you there." He said happily before hanging up.

I walked into the living room where my family was still waiting. I smiled when I got to Edward, and he pulled me on his lap again.

"We need to leave now, were meeting in our baseball field." I said seriously.

"Running would be the fastest way." Carlisle said. We all agreed, and stepped outside. I was about to begin running with them, when Edward stopped me with a stern look on his face.

"Bella, I want you to ride on my back, I don't want you to use your powers unless it absolutely necessary." He said his expression softening.

"Of course." I nodded and climbed on his back. He quietly began running and I closed my eyes and rested my cheek against Edward's shoulder. All too soon, we stopped and I had to get down. Soon after our arrival, the wolves began to file in. There were seven of them all large and ferocious looking.

I patently waited while Carlisle explained the situation, and got their consent to help. Jasper then came up and began teaching the wolves the difference between newborns and older vampires. When he finished I went up too take his place. Edward grabbed my hand worried about what I was about to do. I turned around and gently kissed him to reassure his that I wasn't going anywhere. It was supposed to be a quick kiss, but for some reason, he cupped my face with his hand and began deepening our kiss. When we finally parted he smiled, turned to the wolves and said,

"Sorry please continue." One of them growled, and I nodded a little dizzily and went in front of the wolves. Immediately I recognized Jacob, who looked the most annoyed and angry. I tried to hide my smile as I realized the reason Edward had reacted so strangely. I also felt bad that Jacob had to find out about it this way. I sighed. There was no time for thoughts like these.

I focused my attention on the wolves.

"I'm sure you have been wondering what I am by now. Well believe it or not, I'm a witch. I don't have time to argue and convince, so I'm hoping my last encounter with you will be proof enough." They all nodded. "Well, there will only be four witches in the fight, and I will be taking care of two of them. You naturally affect us by diminishing out powers. You should use this to its full extent. Attack harder, scratch and bite more, and attack faster. They will have to build up their magic before they attack you, so use that opportunity to kill them, before they get a chance to kill you." I looked over at the Cullens. "This applies to all of you as well." They all nodded and I continued.

"Witches tend to attack fast and hard. We like to stay on the offense, and use our different powers to eliminate an enemy. Jasper," I called, "Could you please come over here so that we could give everyone a demonstration?" (I picked him because he was the most experienced fighter.) When he reached me, I looked at Edward who was watching me intently. I looked back at Japer and we both took out stances. He lunged first, and I quickly avoided it.

"Witches tend to fight dirty so be prepared for anything." I said as I teleported behind Jasper and kicked him in the back hard, but not hard enough to hurt him. He responded by swooping his foot towards me, knocking me off balance. Before I had a chance to respond he grabbed my head, and placed his teeth right above my neck singling his victory. When he let me go, I turned to face the wolves.

"That was perfect. Hurting us physically is the perfect way to keep us distracted. The best way to kill a witch is just to snap their neck, or something similar. They don't need to be burned, but it is a precaution we should take when we finish. Does everyone understand?" I asked. The Cullen's all nodded, and Edward came up to me and wrapped his arms around me.

"They all understand, and are actually excited." He said translating.

"And now we wait." I said.

"They're here!" Alice yelled across the field.

"My, my, my look what we have here." An all too familiar voice said.

Let the battle begin.

Victoria strolled into the clearing opposite the wolves and the Cullens. We all quickly took fighting stances ready at any time for her attack. Next to Victoria were three males and one female. They were all relatively young. Except for the female-who looked in her fifties. I would not underestimate her because her age; she was probably the most powerful of them all. I gasped as I recognized the other two guys as the ones who were with James. I only knew the name of the weak one who had challenged me before-Robert.

Well they must also be mad at me because of James's death. I looked behind Victoria and saw twenty different vampires, a mix of new borns and more experienced ones to keep them in line. This was not going to be an easy battle. I looked over at the wolves to see what they thought, and I could tell that they were eager to rip them apart.

"You brought dogs?" She said laughing. "I knew you were desperate, but honestly." She turned to face me. "Nice to see you looking better." She said referring to our 'meeting'. The Cullens all let out loud growls.

"Well, aren't we impatient?" Something was off, I could tell. Victoria seemed to be the leader, but any one of those witches could have taken her out. Why were they following her order? Witches never followed those they considered weaker, and they considered every other species beside themselves weaker. I shrugged off my suspicion. I didn't have time to be distracted. I turned to Edward,

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too, and I will be marrying you after this battle." He said with his lips by my ear. I hope so, I thought. I really didn't know if I would be lucky enough to survive this battle.

"Aw well isn't that just sweet." Victoria said sarcastically. She then turned to the army she had behind her.

"Well what are you waiting for? Kill them!" She said. They all growled and I squeezed Edward's hand one last time before the battle began. They were swiftly advancing to us. I quickly let go of Edward and headed to the two witches I thought would be the most powerful. Edward immediately went for Victoria, while Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Carlisle went for the more advanced vampires, and the rest of the Cullens and the werewolves worked on killing the newborns and the two reaming witches.

I was facing the fifty year old witch and Robert. He may have been weak the last time, but I could tell something was different; I just couldn't put my finger on it. I turned to the old witch in front of me. She sent a knife flying towards me which I quickly dodged; she then threw a fireball at me, which I relinquished with a water ball of my own. Robert was just following along smiling, like he was waiting for something. She really wasn't as powerful as I thought she was. She was already tired from our speed, strength and her using those two powers. I overestimated her.

We then engaged in hand to hand combat. It wasn't much of a challenge considering she was quickly losing strength. I reached out and punched her shoulder, at the same time she punched my stomach. She must've been storing up some of her power for that punch. It didn't matter. Knowing I was going to bleed soon, I made all of my blood scentless as to not attract the twenty seven vampires in the field.

She growled when she realized I wasn't paying attention to her.

"Don't think you can afford to get distracted!" She reached out to punch me and she missed my head by inches, I grabbed her hand and twisted it around her back. She screamed in pain, but I kept my grip.

I let go of her arm for a second, only to snap her neck. She was dead in an instant. I quickly looked around the battle field to see how everyone else was doing. Edward was fighting with Victoria, and at the moment it appeared that no one was wining, but at least he wasn't hurt.

Two of the older vampires had been ripped apart, and Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle were working in pairs for the last few. I couldn't tell how many new borns had been killed, because they're two many dead, or almost dead. I also realized, with a sigh of relief, that one of the other witches had been killed as well. Maybe this fight wouldn't be so bad after all. How wrong I was, because at that moment a strong hit to my stomach caused me to fly across the clearing ramming into three different newborns.

"Did you enjoy your last look at your precious family?" Robert asked me. I was confused; he was a lot stronger than last time, almost like he took magical steroids.(If that were possible) Before I had a chance to get up, he teleported over to me and kicked me across the field again.

"Confused are you? Am I stronger to you now?" He was smiling at me. "We've been experimenting. They bit me four times! I AM NOW MORE POWERFUL! That was the only reason I haven't killed that egocentric Victoria."

"I take it you're mad I killed you master as well?" I asked trying to buy some time. I looked over at Edward, I knew he desperately wanted to come over to me, but Victoria was holding him off. Robert laughed at me.

"No I'm ecstatic! Now I rule!" He kept laughing. I took this as my chance. I quickly jumper up and kicked him. We were fighting beyond normal vampire strength and speed, and he didn't even seem tired. Not that that was a problem, because neither was I- not yet.

He punched me on my shoulder; I went down with the hit, but only for a second. As I went down I brought my leg around and kicked his side. This caught him off guard and he lost his balance temporarily. I took this opportunity and reached out towards his head. He smiled and forced the ground I was on up throwing me right in into a vampire with a loud crack that sounded like thunder.

I looked p to the sky worried about our loud sounds, and saw that it was going to rain any second, there was thunder rumbling and lighting flashing, maybe I could use that. I turned to look for Robert, but my eyes fell on the last remaining witch. I watched in horror as she snuck up behind Rose with a fireball aimed at her head. My eyes changed to a deep menacing green as I thought about what would happen if that hit her…..

I didn't think I just acted. I teleported myself in front of the fireball just as it was about to hit Rose. The fireball smashed into my shoulder, and I grabbed it and cried out in pain, dropping to my knees. I looked up and Emmett was ripping the witch apart.

"You bastard!" He screamed angrily.

"Bella you-"

"Concentrate on your battle!" I screamed at her, trying to ignore the pain in my shoulder. I opened my eyes, and saw Robert right in front of me. I had no time to react. He put his hands around my neck, and we flew up into the air. He let me go, and I coughed, while using my magic to keep me in the air.

"This way you won't get distracted. That was a very kind thing you did for your friend." He said sending a wave of fire towards me. I put of a shield of water around me, to protect myself.

"Is that all of the power you have? Is defense the only thing you know?" He started laughing. "This is easier than my training sessions!" He said mocking my earlier statement towards him. I lunged at him, and managed to land a solid blow on his chest, he flew backwards, and instinctively I looked down. I saw three vampires ganging up on one wolf; a little away from the others. I could see from here they wouldn't make it in time to help him.

I set up a barrier around him, but I could only make it last a few seconds from here. It proved to be just enough, the wolves got there in time and they were ripping into them.

I heard laughing from around me, and saw Robert holding his sides.

"You'll never be stronger if you keep trying to help people! JUST KILL THEM ALL!" He screamed. I took a step back; there was definitely something wrong with him.

"Are you afraid of me?" He asked. "I thought you said I was weak, and powerless!" He teleported in front of me holding my neck in his grasp, and he began pushing me towards the ground. We were quickly falling with him on top of me.

"AM I WEAK NOW?" He screamed as he slammed me into the ground. I screamed out in pain as I felt my spine break, and then begin to heal itself. Robert just continued laughing, but it wasn't manically, it sounded insane. The vampire venom must react badly with witch blood-good to know. I was desperately trying to get him off me, trying to ignore the pain in my back, but his grip on me remained firm.

"TELL ME! AM I WEAK NOW?" He screamed while beating my head into the ground.

"No," I replied weakly, "You're even worse." I spit the blood that had accumulated in my mouth in his face. If he was insane before, there was no word to describe him now. He looked like he was having a mental break-down.

"YOU BITCH!" He said about to punch me, but I raised my knee to hit his stomach and kicked him high into the air. Once he was up high enough, I flew and took off after him, and kicked him again. He sent a wave of knives towards me, I set up a wall of fire to block them, but I missed a few.

I cried out in pain as one skimmed my shoulder, and another stabbed my leg. I bit my teeth together, as I pulled it out. I looked at the wound expecting it to heal, but it didn't! Not even a little!

"Fantastic aren't they? They stop your healing processes wherever they hit. That wound won't be going away anytime soon." He said smiling.

"This is great! I never expected to use these! HA HA HA HA HA HA! This is great; if you want I'll spare you, if you'll agree to be my toy." He said.

"I'd rather die first." I said my voice full of venom.

"Suit yourself!" He said while lunging towards me again. He reached his arm out to punch me, his arm aflame. I blew a wind gust to put it out.

"Ohh aren't we good at elements, but tell me? What else can you do?" He said condescendingly.

"Much much more." I said. Thunder rumbled over head, and at that moment rain came pouring down on us in heavy sheets. The wind was whipping my hair around my face, and was stinging my wounds, but I never broke eye contact with Robert. We both knew it. This last move would decide the results of the battle. A loud crack of thunder roared overhead, and the sky darkened, as the rain continued to pelt us.

He flew words me screaming, and just as he was about to hit me, I used most of my reserve power to control a lighting bolt, and hit him with it. I had never tried to do this before, since it was very difficult to control these harsher aspects of nature; but I knew I had to try.

He screamed in pain as it hit him and burned his entire body. It wouldn't be enough to kill him, but it would distract him long enough so that I could. About a millisecond after the lighting hit him, I slammed into him taking his neck in my hands. I began pushing him down towards the ground, just as he had done to me.

We fell through the trees, and into a large lake. The change of atmosphere didn't matter. He would be dead soon. I held my breath and continued until we reached the lake bottom, cracking the ground in half. This was it, my final move. If this didn't work, then I would die. I had never tried this spell; it was a modification of the one I used to kill James. Instead of burning molecules slowly and one by one I would do exploded them ALL at once to make sure no part of him would be left alive for regeneration.

This would take absolute concentration, strength, stamina, and practice-none of which I had. But I was still going to do it. I began building up my power, as I'm sure Robert was doing. I screamed in pain as I began to start my spell. What happened next happened simultaneously and in only a few seconds. I felt his skin boiling under my hands. And he unleashed a large wave of those weird knives into my body.

The power coming from my spell was enough to repel some; but not nearly all. I felt him explode beneath my hands, and that disturbed the lake. It quickly felt the explosion of air, along with me, being repelled out of the lake with a large whoosh.

I winced in pain as I landed on the ground with a loud thump. I coughed up water from the lake as well as blood. That couldn't be good. I tired to get up, but immediately fell. I needed to get back to the battle. I supported my weight on my elbow as I got up and supported my weight on the nearest tree.

I could hear the growls from the battle, I couldn't be too far. I began walking, leaving an empty crater where the lake used to be, towards the battle. I stumbled a lot, and my body had never experienced so much pain. As I was walking I began pulling out the knives that Robert had hit me with. I cleared the blood from my eyes from my eyes and continued walking. With a scream I pulled out a knife from my arm and left it on the ground, and moved on to the one in my leg. Luckily, only two of the knives actually stabbed me. The rest just cut me up lightly.

I saw a light up ahead, and I knew that I was close. As I entered the edge of the clearing, I saw all of the wolves, and Cullens surrounding one older vampire, who could apparently put up barriers. They were trying to block it but with no avail. I was far too weak to destroy it myself, but maybe…. I looked at the knife I had in my hand, which I just pulled from my leg.

It was worth a try. I put all of my remaining strength and threw it at the barrier. The knife easily destroyed it. They all quickly pounced ripping the vampire to shreds in seconds; they were still oblivious to my presence because I threw the knife from the edge of the forest.

I tired to remain awake as long as possible, but my eyelids were so heavy, and everything was getting blurrier by the second.

"Where did this knife come from?" I head someone ask. ME! I'm over here! I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I was struggling to remain breathing. They were all looking around and above. I took a shaky step forward, letting go of the tree for the first time. I could no longer hold onto my consciousness. I collapsed forward, finally gaining the attention of everyone in the field. Their screams turned to whispers, and the whispers turned to silence as I feel deeper and deeper into unconsciousness.

Goodbye.

We were all surrounding the last remaining vampire. The wolves and my family were all hitting the barrier as hard as we could, but nothing was happening. Suddenly, an object flew into the barrier. No one knew what the object was, or even cared. All that mattered was that the barrier had diminished, and we were free to attack.

And so we did. With seven vampires and seven wolves he didn't stand a chance. I found my thoughts immediately shifted to Bella. Where was she? Was she all right? No, she had to be. My thoughts we interrupted my Jasper.

"Where did this knife come from?" Jasper asked. "It looks very odd..." He thought.

After a few seconds, we heard a small thump on the edge of the clearing. There, passed out and bleeding profusely was my Bella.

"NO!" I cried out running to her side. I picked up her bleeding body in my hands. She was terribly injured, and she wasn't healing. Why wasn't she healing!

"Carlisle!" I screamed out. If any one could help her it was him. She had to be alright. I laid her on the ground, never letting go of her hand while Carlisle examined her.

"This isn't good." He thought. "We need to get her to a hospital now!" He yelled. I nodded and picked her up. We all ran as fast as we could to Forks hospital. Once we were close enough that human's could see us, we were forced to slow down. I felt my heart being torn as I heard Bella's heart slowing.

We slammed open the door to the hospital.

"I need a team over here quick!" Carlisle said, and immediately five humans came and I was forced to put Bella down on an emergency streacher. Completely disregarding everyone else, I held onto Bella's hand as they rolled her into the intensive care unit. As soon as we entered, Carlisle said

"Edward, you have to let go of her now." He said. He began hooking her up to a heart monitor, which showed her decreasing heart rate. I felt like I was dying with her. She was my reason to live with out her...I stopped those thoughts. She WOULD be fine. Even I had to change her….I absolutely refused to live eternity without this angel by my side.

One of the incompetent humans began to try and push me out of the room.

"You need to leave sir." He said. "It's such a shame. She's so young and beautiful." I growled at the direction his thoughts were going. I tried to control myself so I wouldn't rip off his arms or any other limbs for that matter.

"I am not going anywhere, and I doubt you will be able to remove me yourself." I replied through clenched teeth.

"So damn stubborn." He thought.

"David, just get back over here!" Carlisle said to the man in front of me.

"But," He began to argue.

"Just do it!" Carlisle said in a tone of finality.

"I need you to stop the bleeding, get her hooked up to a blood transfusion now!" Carlisle said, his face still a composed doctors. How could he be this calm? That was Bella laying there, not some complete stranger! I watched in anguish as I heard her heart rate continue to slow. She was growing paler by the second. I would be crying right now if I had any tears to shed. I wished there was something I could do to help her!

Carlisle continued to work on her for a few minutes before the heart machine flat lined.

"No Bella, please, please Bella!" I called out to her dry sobbing. She couldn't leave! Carlisle took out the defibrillators in an attempt to revive Bella and restart her heart.

"Charge to 100 volt!" He said as they placed the pads on Bella's chest.

"Clear!" He called. He pressed them to her chest and released the electrical charge. Carlisle continued to look at the monitor which was still flat lined.

"Charge to 150!" He called.

"Clear!" He repeated the same process only to have the same result. Try again! I screamed in my mind. I can't lose her!

"200!" Carlisle said.

"Clear!" He called. The result was the same.

"Time of death-" One of the nurses began.

"No!" Carlisle yelled, finally loosing his cool. In all my time with him, he had almost never lost his cool. He had to save her, I though frantically. The other doctors and nurses looked taken aback by his sudden outburst. The machine was still flat lining in the background.

"Charge to 250." Carlisle said.

"B...but doctor...she" The woman stuttered.

"NOW!" he yelled.

"Dammit Bella you have to stay with me!" He yelled.

"Please." I whispered.

"Clear!" He called again. The machine never changed. That's fine; I would change her, right here right now. Just as I was about to step forward I heard Alice's frantic thoughts screaming at me,

"EDWARD! You can't! Something will go wrong during the transformation! You can't!" She screamed. I stopped and sobbed even harder. Then what was I supposed to do? Continue to watch her lifeless body?

"What am I supposed to do?" I begged out loud. All sound and thoughts left my mind as I heard Carlisle say the next four words that ripped my dead heart out.

"Time of death 11:59 pm."

"I'm so sorry Edward…" He thought.

"DAMMIT BELLA!" I screamed angrily throwing an IV that was near me into a wall breaking it in half. I knew it wasn't her fault, but I needed her here. She couldn't leave she just couldn't.

"Poor kid." One of the doctors thought.

"She was so young." A nurse thought.

"I can't believe it...I..." Carlisle thought.

And then, the reality of the situation hit me. She was gone. My angel was gone. Forever.

Bella's POV:

It was dark. Why was it so dark? I tried to move but I couldn't. It felt like I was stuck at the bottom of the ocean. The waves were pushing harder and harder at me, crushing me, suffocating me. Why was I here? How did I get here? I tried desperately to remember, while I felt my consciousness slipping away.

Would I die here?

I was so tired. If I just feel asleep would all my pain and worries go away? Why was I trying so hard? I should let the waves take me; I don't have to fight it. I should just drift away…no more challengers, no more fighting, how great that sounds.

Yes I think I will die here.

It was then that I gave up the struggle. Why should I fight? Why remember when it's so painful? I would be at peace soon. Just as I was about to sleep, a voice rang out in my mind.

"DAMMIT BELLA!"I heard it as it echoed around my mind and kept me awake. That voice…it was…Edward? Suddenly it all came back to me; I remembered the fight, and my death.

I was instantly filled with regret. I didn't want to leave Edward. No please! I change my mind! I don't want to die! I opened my eyes in determination.

I would not die here. I told myself.

I lifted up my heavy arms and began swimming to the invisible surface. The waves pushed hard and harder against me, trying to push me down. But I would not give up. I swam even harder, and then finally I saw a bright light at the top. I swam towards it as hard as I could.

Edwards POV:

And then, the reality of the situation hit me. She was gone. My angel was gone. The first thing I was going to do after burying her was go to Italy. Surely they would kill me if I begged? The thought of eternity never seemed as tortuous as it did now. I was brought out of my thoughts by a small beep. I tried to ignore it, and kept thinking about my plans. My family would not be happy, then I heard it again, only louder beep…beep…beep…I looked up trying not to hope in vain.

I cried out in relief when I saw that Bella's heart was beating! She was alive!

"Thank you." I whispered to no one particular.

"What the-" One of the doctors began, before Carlisle cut them off.

"Don't waste time, continue bandaging her wounds, and keep up the blood transfusions!" He ordered.

"We're not out of the clear yet, but she should be just fine. Thank God." He thought.

"It is truly a miracle." I heard someone think.

I didn't care what it was; all I cared was that I had my Bella back.

THREE WEEKS LATER

Bella's POV: (Last switch)

It was dark again. I didn't die did I? This can't be heaven! I tried to move my leg and groaned. No this hurt too much to be paradise.

"Bella, love please open your eyes, I feel I will go insane." I heard a musical voice say. Edward! I didn't die! I opened my eyes, Edward. His eyes were a light butter scotch. He had just gone hunting. Carlisle probably had to force him.

"Edward." I said happily, surprised at the strength in my voice.

"I'm so glad." He said as he reached over to hug me very lightly.

"Bella, for a couple of minutes you were…I thought..." I listened surprised as he struggled for words.

"It's alright, I'm ok. Really." I reassured him.

"You've been asleep for three weeks; I've been nearly tearing my hair out with worry." He said. I laughed trying to lighten the mood.

"Then I'm sure Japer has been doing the same." He laughed with me. And then for no reason we both began laughing so hard my sides hurt. I took a deep breath to calm myself. Edward let go of me to face me, but not let me out of his grasp.

"So how bad?" I asked. He sighed.

"You're healing powers took care of most of your wounds after you were rested, but the large stab to your leg and arm are healing at a human rate. Carlisle is keeping all the humans out, because you're supposed to have four broken ribs, and a fractured spine."

"Whoops." I laughed. He laughed to.

"Silly Bella."

I hated to ask, but I needed to know. My face turned into a serious expression when I began to ask my question,

"Edward, the battle, what happened?" His eyes darkened and he took a deep breath. I waited patiently for an answer.

"Thanks to you running interference, everyone came out relatively unscathed."

"Relatively?" I asked wearily.

"Well, one of the wolves was injured, but it was just a couple of broken bones." I nodded in relief.

"You should sleep now Bella." He said while he kissed my forehead.

"But I'm not tired!" I complained. "Apparently I've been asleep for three weeks."

"Yes, and what long three weeks those were…"Edward mumbled.

"When will they let me out?" I asked.

"Carlisle said you could leave a couple days after you woke up, because of your healing abilities."

"Two whole days?" I complained with a smile. Edward and I laughed again before he finally forced me to sleep.

Two days actually went by very fast, All of the Cullens visited me and asked me how I was doing, thanking me for what I did in the fight. One hour before my release Rosalie came into my room.

"Edward, could you please..." She asked. He looked at me and I nodded in reassurance.

"I'll be out side of hearing distance" he said.

When Rose was sure he was gone she walked over to me with pained eyes. I had never seen Rosalie like this. She looked at my shoulder, and I understood the reason for her visit. I smiled at her.

"I'm fine you know. My shoulder healed a few minutes after I got hit by the fireball, you don't have to feel guilty." I said. She sat on the bed careful of my foot, and looked at me.

"Bella, it's not just that. I want to thank you. You saved my life, and I know you didn't have to. And because you helped me, the person you were fighting got the upper hand…I'm sorry...but I am also so grateful. I have been nothing but cold towards you, yet you still chose to save me. I know why everyone has become so attached to you. Bella, you have an enormously big hear t and an endless amount of bravery." By the time she finished I was crying tears of happiness.

"Thanks Rose." I said as I sniffled. She laughed.

"I look forward to your return home." She said. I nodded and smiled, as did she, before she left.

Not soon after, Edward came in and took his seat next to my bed.

"That was very nice of her." I said. Edward agreed.

"It was very overdue as well." He said.

"Are you ready to return home love?" He asked.

"Of course."

A couple months later:

This was it. I took a deep breath. Today was THE day. We had spent months shopping and planning for today. My wedding day. I look back at everything Edward and I have been through and smile. Sure it's been tough, and if it were up to him I would never leave his arms- not that I'm complaining. But we made it through, and that was all that mattered.

Besides the forced shopping trips with Alice, these past two months have been pure bliss. You know, I thought it was impossible to plan a wedding in only two months, but apparently I underestimated Alice.

I was now having final touches being put on me for my walk down the aisle. Yes that right, I was going to be Mrs. Cullen in about twenty minutes. This thought made my stomach turn to knots, but in an amazingly wonderful way. Am I making any sense?

I never imagined I would feel this way, an overwhelming amount of happiness and love and…just every other positive emotion. I feel like I'm on happy pills. I find that I am constantly reminding myself that this is real. I really did find my happy ending and a prince charming. Gosh that sounds cheesy. I have no idea what's wrong with me, I'm just so happy!

I haven't been able to stop smiling all day, even when Alice was doing my hair and makeup. I looked at myself in the mirror, and I could hardly believe that was me. I looked beautiful, but more than that, I looked truly happy, something I hadn't felt in a very long time.

I haven't had any negative thoughts all day. None of the usual, am I making the right choice? Is he the one? Should I be doing this? I was just so excited and amazed that this was actually happening that this was actually my life.

"Are you ready Bella?" Alice asked.

"I've never been more ready in my life." I answered, trying to keep my tears at bay. At this moment Rosalie and Esme walked in.

"You look absolutely beautiful Bella." Esme said. I smiled, afraid that if I spoke I would start crying and ruin all of Alice's hard work. She only applied light natural makeup that accented my eyes, and she put my hair up in a perfect half bun in the back of my head, with the other half of my hair waved to perfection.

The door opened and Charlie walked in, his eyes watering.

"It's time." He said smiling at me. He was happy when he heard about the wedding, but a little upset about the close date. I nodded and all five of us left the room and headed towards the aisle.

Alice had truly outdone herself this time. We actually chose a place similar to the clearing we fought in. It was a large area outside which Alice decorated perfectly. There were white wispy tents set up, and lights all around the trees and poles. It wasn't night time, it was nearly twilight. There were lights and flowers leading all the way up to the alter, where I saw Edward waiting with a large smile.

It was really trying hard not to cry from sheer happiness as Charlie walked me down the aisle towards my future husband's waiting arms. I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. Everyone from Forks came, as well as a few of Charlie's relatives.

Charlie let me go and Edward lovingly took my arm. His eyes were sparkling with love and adoration, and I knew if he could, he would be crying right now to.

Just a short time later, we both finished our vows, and the tears I had been so desperately fighting back freely spilled down my cheeks when Edward said 'I do'.

"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said.

The kiss was absolute perfection, just like the rest of the day. It was sweet and chaste but it was filled with an immeasurable amount of love. We both looked at each other and smiled like the head over heels in love teens that we were.

Let eternity begin.
